The truth was buried for generations. One summer, a young writer began pulling at the threads.
Alabama, 1936. At nineteen, a sheltered Northwestern University journalism student joins the Federal Writers' Project, expecting six weeks of interviews and local history. Instead, she enters a community bound by blood, silence, and an old Cobb family feud.
Aunt Jinny remembers one version. Gus Lawrence insists on another. Court records, a hidden diary, and the testimony of Pastor Silas and his grandfather Samuel reveal darker truths-slavery, vigilante murder, sexual violence, and racial terror that did not end with the Civil War.
As every interview tangles the past further, the young writer confronts the question at the heart of history: Who gets believed, and whose story is erased? When her search brings her face-to-face with the living legacy of the Ku Klux Klan, collecting stories becomes a dangerous act of witness.
Richly layered and rooted in the upheavals of the Great Depression, Reconstruction, and the Jim Crow South, Cobbwebs is a powerful historical novel about memory, inherited prejudice, moral courage, and the responsibility of telling the truth-even when a community has spent generations hiding it.
